Explosive bullets for small arms are Ia

adjournment of the senate, but remained
together only about half an hour, ad-
iourning without action. The majority
are SAID to favor action of some kind for

The process of making thimbles is
described as follows: Bright new silver
coins are reduced TO ingots by melting in
crucibles. They are then rolled into the
required thickness and cut by "A stamp
into circular pieces of the required size.
These circular disks are placed under n
solid metal bar of the size of the inside
OF the thimble, which, moved by power
FIJI machinery, descends in a bottomless
mold of the size of the outside Of the
thimble and presses the metal into tho
desired shape at II single blow. The re-
naming operations of Frightening, pol
ishing and decorating are performed by
means of u lathe. First, the blank form
is fitted with Il rapidly revolving rod; a
slight touch of a sharp chisel takes a thin
shaving from the end; another does the
same on the side, while IA third rounds OIL
The rim. The polishing is done by 4
round steel rod, which is dipped In oil
and pressed upon the surface. Small re-
yolving steel wheels held against the re-
Nolving blank pierce the indentations on
the lower half and end of the thimblei
the ornamentation is donc by a similar
process. All that remains to be done to

One often hears the expression that a
horse don't know its strength. That is a
mistake. A horse is fully aware of its
strength, but, owing to a popularity of
its optic lens, it is kept in a constant state
of intimidation. A horses eye magnifies
nearly six diameters, and a man looks
like a giant to it. Queer, isn't itf but
true. A series of curious experiments
recently made by Partisan savants have
established it beyond any question. That
uccounts for many of the odd fits of fright

President CleveIand's vetoes.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The speaker
laid before the house a message from the
president returning, without his approval,
a bill granting a pension to Cuthbert
Stone. In his veto message the president
states that the claimant spent most of his
term OF enlistment in dcsertion or impris-
onment for desertion. Thus, says the
president, is exhibited the ''long and faith
full service and high character of the
claimant mentioned by the committee as
emitting him to consideration. | with
hold my consent from the bill because. il
the facts before me are true, the allow
ance of this would be a ~travesty on the
scheme of pensions and an insult to every
brave. decent veteran soldier. In veto
ing the bill granting a pension to Abra-
ham T. Grigg, the president quotes from
the hospital record to show that the
claimant was not sick, but completely
worthless, obese and lazy" The presi-
dent does regard 1t as strange that
this claimant, encouraged by the ease
with which special acts are passed, seeks
relief by such measures twenty years after
his claim had been rejected by the pen
sion bureau. The president also sent in
messages vetoing bills granting pensions
to Franklyn Woeet, Jesse Campbell, r.
K. Bennett, Catherine Satire and James
R. Baylor, on the ground principally that
their claims are still pending
in the pension bureau. The messages
were referred to the committee on invalid
